5/3/10

What a beautiful day!

Language Arts:
Today was a busy morning. Without having specials, we were able to get a lot of things accomplished. We were able to switch for Vocabulary Vine, complete our Unit 5 reading test, meet with our reading buddies, and start our novel study. It is so hard to believe, but this is our last one for the year!

Homework:
***Read chapter 2 in our novel.
***Complete the vocabulary and cause/effect found on page 10.
***State floats are due next week.

Math:
Today in math we worked on computation practice of a variety of skills, worked on a few problem solving activities, and then were divided into work groups to work on specific problems dealing with surface area, volume, and area. The students will spend time working in groups and then peer teaching the concepts to the rest of the class.

Homework:
***None

Social Studies:
We reviewed for our test tomorrow. It will cover chapter 7. Be sure to reread the chapter and study pages 40-41 in your interactive student notebook. Page 42 and 43 will be collected and graded tomorrow as well.

Until tomorrow...
